That was my first thought but I looked at her surgery date.
She would IN THEORY be far too early out to be showing signs of only vitamin deficiency but it's possible. However, because she is so early out, it would be best for her to contact her surgeon and/or other healthcare physician(s).
Tingling in the extremities can indicate many things that can be potentially fatal. I don't want to list them here and scare her too much but she needs to call her doctor immediately.
I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side. The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

I agree. However, again, since she is so early out, it's best for her to call her doctor.
I was nearly 1 month out from surgery with the same symptoms. I was dismissing it as same. I was slowly bleeding to death. If I had gone to sleep that night, I'd be dead.
I was just suggesting that she be cautious and let her doctor decide.

I don't have a choice.
Really, if you knew the "rest of the story," you'd FREAK.
If I didn't try my hardest to stay positive and if I didn't laugh at all that we are going through and how pathetic we are, I'd have already gargled razor blades, slashed my wrists, shot myself in the head, and then jumped off the bridge to make sure it worked!
