Absence from final UiS board meeting

Though I had been planning for months to attend this academic year's final University of Stavanger board meeting, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, today and tomorrow, I eventually had to cancel and notify the secretary that I would be absent. This is because I now have a second gall stone (following the first one in March, which led to quite some complications), which is causing me pain and discomfort. This would have been my last meeting, since my bid for reelection was not successful. I have served in the board of UiS since October 2012.
