Sounds like you got good mileage after the initial injury.

A few years ago I had the odd misfortune of having a squirrel trying to jump through my front wheel at about 20 mph. Fortunately no crash, but ended up with a bent spoke and squirrel parts all over me and the bike. The Campy Proton wheel otherwise weathered the incident like a champ, stayed in true, and I finished the ride, albeit without any more drinks from my water bottle.

The spoke is a weird straight pull spoke so while waiting for the new one to arrive I went for a ride a couple of days later and the spoke broke. Lesson learned. Even back then I had extra bikes and wheels and I still don't know why I just didn't ride another.
