Steve Jobs Had Liver Transplant

The slightest bit of light has been shed on Steve Jobs' mystery illness: Apple reports today that its CEO, who has been on medical leave since January, underwent a liver transplant two months ago, and he's recovering well. The technology guru is set to return to work later this month, though, following doctors' orders, he may work part-time for a a while—perhaps leading to an expanded role for Apple's #2, Tim Cook. In the past, shareholders have criticized Jobs for disclosing such limited information about his health problems, which began in 2004, when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The gaunt Jobs took a medical leave of absence in January, but offered little insight at the time as to what was ailing him, leading to rampant speculation in the press that he was suffering from a relapse.

Seems he would be puffy from anti-rejection meds. Serious problems he had there, lucky to be alive, they should judge the man for his mind and not his liver!

Arleast we know what was wrong. At one point it was rumored he was dying, had incurable cancer.Im sorry to know he has been so ill.He is a genius,and this was his decade,since microsoft blocked his growth before. My favorite stock, my favorite items,I have always felt he was a sincere man, and whoever he would put in his place to lead his company had to be brilliant.and move apple foward. Wish him health ,a complete recovery,and good luck.!A true inspiration to all.
