I am so sorry that happened! But, I agree with Murienn, rest and more rest. I had a broken nose (OK, I went through a car windshield) at age 15 and it took a while before it felt normal, although I was up and around after a week. That will heal. Our bodies need a lot of rest to heal, it takes more energy than we know. I'd get that knee up and ice it, too.
You are correct, being in shape helps us recover. Do you have any friends who can bring you some goodies?

Actually the latest I've read is consistent with most of the advice I've gotten recently, that ice delays healing. Decreases circulation and inflammation, which are both key components of healing. Use it sparingly in the first 24 hours if it helps the pain, but only for pain, and avoid it otherwise. Definitely still avoid heat. And +1,000,000 on the rest, particularly when it's YOU.
