I hope this message reaches some kind expat who can give advice and guidance.
The U.S. Embassy has been useless. You can't even talk to a human being there.
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 have been 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.) That's where she's recuperating. She's not doing well.
She needs to have more medical attention. It seems like she wasn't given any advice on post-op follow-up. 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.
