The reason I am coming here is that I'm needing advice and guidance from some expats in Norway. My 26-year-old daughter had a terrible accident in Norway two weeks ago. On a tour with SJOA, she jumped off a ledge in a canyon into the water and hit a rock under the water!
Her L3 verterbra was fractured. Thank God, thank God, thank God she wasn't paralyzed. She was taken to Lillehammer Hospital, then Oslo University Hospital-Ulleval. The surgery seems to be successful. She was released this past Saturday. She and her partner have gone to Kristensand where they are staying with a friend of her partner's faculty advisor, I think. (Her partner is a Ph.D. student at Brown University.)
The U.S. Embassy has been useless. You can't even reach a human being.
She needs to have more medical attention. How does she access medical attention in Kristiansand? How does the system work?
Her mother and I are sick with worry. She and her partner are mature and independent, but they are in over their heads trying to deal with this situation alone.
That's my immediate question. Thank you.
