Hang in there! Give yourself a chance to heal up and then hop right back on the bike!!
You might want to give yourself more time to ease into the clipless thing. When I was learning how to clip in and out a couple of years ago, I went out to a quiet, flat road where I knew there wouldn't be a lot of traffic and then clipped in just on ONE side for a minute; then unclipped; pedaled a bit; then clipped in on the other side for a minute; unclipped; and so on. Being clipped in just on one side at a time made a BIG difference in my confidence level.
Also, as others have suggested, make sure that whatever system you're using is set just loosely enough to make it easy to pop out. When you've got some miles under your belt, you can always tighten things up.
Good for you and good luck!!
