Lysia hops around on crutchs for a few days, she tries to pass as much time
as possible in the simulator and patching up / organizing and redecorating
her quarters.  She also ties to get in an hour each day in the gym just to
work on the leg and everything else.

Lysia tries to find as many things as she can for Lessa to help her out with
just to give her something to do so the time passes a little faster.
