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!
