Abbie and Lori dig into one of the most common habits in the spinal cord injury community: comparing injuries. Lori shares her own story of defying medical expectations, and together they break down why two people with similar injury levels can have wildly different outcomes. They explore what ASIA scoring does and doesn't tell us, how nerve conduction works, and why the real value in comparing yourself to others lies in the specific movements and training approaches, not the level of injury. A practical and encouraging episode for anyone trying to figure out what recovery can look like for them.
