Here's a size comparison with another party member, Leland. They met each other at the dreaded Castle in pursuit of their goals. Abigail wasn't the only one to be left with scars; Leland's gun had exploded when he shot at the Alpha Werewolf. The two were carried back into the town and spent several months in recovery at the church. Leland's recovery was him dealing with the loss of his preferred hand and learning to live without it... Abigail's recovery was accepting that she may never run again, being unable to move her foot without her calf muscle.

Leland had left to find a new purpose, and Abigail stayed to help the town recover as well as becoming an apprentice to an Artificer. The two would meet again 10 years later when brought into Strahd's realm. The two would have an opportunity to form a connection and become emotionally invest in each other.
