The zaps you are feeling are nerves coming back to life. (that is what was told to me) When they cut me they cut through a lot of nerves. I also could feel the swelling, and the swelling going down.
I hope you are still resting and taking good care of yourself, as you are in such early days. Things will get better.

My surgeon told me the same thing when he went in, that it was so thin, he could see the blood was right there, and rupture was only a matter of time. How blessed are we?

Thank you for explaining the zaps. What exactly is taking it easy? I have been taken to different stores to walk a little bit by my daughter. Yesterday we even went to the grocery store, which I really liked. We don't stay out more then 1-2 hrs, last night my legs felt weak, I guess I used them too much. I am not allowed to drive until I go back to the surgeon on March 9th, and after yesterday, my daughter said she could see why, I was cutting people off with the cart. I have been wearing a hat with a rim, so maybe it was blocking my sight?? Nancy
