New orchid lover here!

I purchased a Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure' last week at the Atlanta Orchid Society Show. Managed to get it (in bud) back to Michigan in one piece without bud blast.

I had it perched on my overhead storage at work (approximately 24" from the lights). Just now someone slammed the door across the hall from my cube, and the orchid came tumbling down, falling approximately 5 feet.

There are no breaks to the spike, and no visible bud damage. I do have one leaf that's looking rough, but had bruising when I purchased it.

The potting medium spilled all over my cubicle floor, and all that remains is some foam peanuts.

The plant was off-balance to begin with, so I had planned on re potting after it went out of bloom, but I'm now faced with a bit of an emergency situation.

Because I am in a cubicle, I'm thinking my best bet may be to report in a hanging basket. It's currently in a 4" transplant/greenhouse pot.

I've ordered some orchid medium from Amazon (with overnight shipping). Will the orchid be alright until tomorrow afternoon when the potting medium arrives, or should I plan on running out on my lunch break to get something?

Again, I'm a total newbie, so any advice on basket size (or if a basket is not appropriate, a sturdy pot that can hold up to the "abuse" of doors slamming nearby) medium, repotting tips, etc are greatly appreciated.
