My kitty was just spayed about two weeks ago. She didn't seem to shaky to me but she did sleep all day the day she came home they will sleep off the rest of the medicine. The shaky Ness could be from the medicine they give them. My kitty had a lump as well, looked kind of like a little hurnia. Now, she is up and well like it never happened. Your kitty should be just fine.

Did you get the spay surgery done at a vet clinic? My vet clinic always calls me the day after surgery to check in and see if I have any questions. I'm sure your vet wouldn't mind if you called to ask.
I got my cat spayed many years ago so I don't remember if she had the shakes afterwards but according to http://www.operationpets.org/post_op.php3#home it sounds pretty normal.
"WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU BRING YOUR PET HOME
• We strongly recommend you keep your pet confined in a crate or small room the night after surgery.
• Your pet may be groggy when you get home, experiencing a "hang-over" from the anesthesia. Your pet will typically require 18-24 hours to recover from the general anesthesia. Most animals will be back to normal when the anesthesia leaves their system entirely.
• Your pet may sleep much more than normal for 18-24 hours following surgery.
• You pet may be a little agitated or aggressive due to the after-effects of anesthesia. Avoid handling the animal too much as he/she may try to bite or scratch you.
• Isolate the animal from children and other pets. He may be more prone to snapping or nipping at other pets and even children due to the after-effects of anesthesia.
• Your pet may have poor balance. This will make climbing stairs or getting in and out of the car more difficult than usual, so be ready to assist. Help your dog in and out of the car as sudden movements can damage his stitches. Lift the dog by wrapping your arms around the dog’s chest/front legs and rear/back legs.
• Make sure your cat has a comfortable spot to sleep in a confined, secure, quiet place. Once she's settled, she's likely to sleep it off and will be fine upon awakening."
Hope all is well! I was really freaked out too because it was the most major (only) surgery my cat ever had. I confined her to my bedroom and she healed surprisingly fast.
