On Wednesday, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak suffered a minor stroke while attending a conference in Mexico City, reports ABC News and The New York Times.

The 73-year-old was scheduled to speak at the World Business Forum event on the subject of the "Digital Future." Wednesday morning while typing at his computer, he suffered a dizzy spell and reported difficulty walking. His wife convinced him to go to the hospital, where he received an MRI. The doctors determined that he suffered a "small capillary leak," according to the NYT.

Wozniak flew home to Los Gatos, California, on Thursday, and he told The Times, "I'm back home and feeling good." He related discomfort in the hospital with having to stay on a gurney for 24 hours without being allowed to roll on his side.
