Orchid accident! Please help! Female
Exclamation Orchid accident! Please help!

I was putting some fruit away in my hanging fruit basket today, when the mounted hook in the ceiling broke, and the full, metal fruit basket fell and landed on one of my plants!
The plant is a phal, in a 6 or 8" diameter pot. There were no stalks or blooms on it, just 4 big leaves. The top two leaves both have large tears right down the middle of the leaf, but they don't extend all the way to the end. The bottom left leaf has a puncture wound in it from the corner of the metal basket. The very top leaf, in addition to the cut down the middle, looks to have been torn away some from the plant where the leaf originates.
So you have better background info, the basket was a three tier basket, made of metal wire, and it was full when it fell.

What should I do!!?? I watered it, to get any dust and dirt out of the cuts. I was planning on dusting all of it with cinnomin to keep out infection, but wanted to consult with you guys first.
What about the top leaf that has been slightly torn away from the plant? If I somehow prop it up and secure it back to the plant, will it fix itself somehow, like fuse back together or something??

I would add pictures but I don't have a camera!
thanks!!! I'll be waiting for all of your replies!
