Update on Steve Wozniak

[thewayne]

The Woz, 73, suffered a "small capillary leak" before giving a speech at a forum. He experienced dizziness and was unable to walk. The leak was discovered via MRI, he stayed in the hospital 24 hours on a gurney, which would not be a lot of fun, and was not allowed to roll to his side. I assume they thought the additional blood pressure from rolling over might have exacerbated the leak, possibly causing a full-blown rupture?

He returned home and is reportedly feeling good and has cancelled forthcoming speaking engagements in Dubai, Colombia, and Azerbaijan.

Woz was the engineer who invented the Apple I and Apple II computers and founded Apple Computers with Steve Jobs in 1976 along with Ronald Wayne - now THERE is a trivia question for you! Jobs, of course, passed away in 2011. Another amusing bit of trivia: the company was founded on April 1!

Hopefully things are better now for Woz and he can continue his speaking circuits when he's healed up. Strokes are scary things, good that his wife insisted he go get things checked out.

Most definitely!
