Oil pressure is pretty serious.  I would have resolved the issue
immediately 
with no further driving.  If you do have a problem, you've likely taken 
years off the engine.  An engine will only last a few weeks with a bad oil

pump.

The sender is near the oil filter.  It sounds like they may have broken it

during the change.  Go back to the oil change place and try to have them,
at 
least, install one you bring in from the parts store.  Should be very easy

for them to do.
