Gallbladders, who needs 'em?

As of today, (Tuesday), Sue's still in the hospital. The operation went fine, with no more than the usual pain from four little incisions. By Friday, two days post-op, she was eating solid food and ready to go home. Then, for some unknown reason, she started getting a fever, then nausea and loss of appetite. The white cell count was normal, there's no significant pain, and the incisions look perfectly healthy. So what is it? Nobody knows, so more tests are ordered. Blood cultures, X-rays, a CT scan, and there's nothing unusual. Sue's temperature goes up to 102.4 one midnight, down the next day, and up to 103.9 the next night. Eventually she starts feeling better and her temp is now running 99 to 100. So maybe she'll get to come home tomorrow if things stay ok and she's eating well.
