I haven't seen a single picture of him since he got back. Does he look healthy again?

  I suppose not. Although he has a brand new liver, the process of yanking the old one and plugging a new one back in is painful, complex and aggressive. We are really lousy from a maintenance point-of-view. Anyone would look like crap after a liver transplant. I wish him well. He did and has been doing important and interesting things.

    My wife had a liver transplant (years before I met her) and I've learned from her and her doctors that pretty much all liver transplant patients have a rough first year or two. Expect to see Steve Jobs hospitalized a few times over the next couple of years, suffering from rejection, hepatitis, CMV, and various side-effects caused by the heavy immunosuppressants he's taking. Eventually he'll find a balance of drugs that he can live with, but it's a long, painstaking, trial-and-error process.
