Started car after 2 days of sitting, and it idled ROUGH...?

Guys, 1st time I have actually driven my car in 1 week, due to my surgery, but my dad and I traded cars since he had a auto. Well we traded them back, and I am not taking mine. But I started it for the 1st time I have been in it a while, but he was driving it to work, etc. It had a rough start, a little rough, then when it was idling you felt the car shaking, then it seddled down to a smooth idle. What the heck is the deal?! That is the 1st time this has ever happened. I am wondering what is wrong if anything. It has 10,600 miles on it now. It defintely produced a stinky smell today for a 1st time.

Mine's done the rough idle seemingly at random also... it hasn't done it for a while though. I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again.
