Since you don't have a replacement spoke yet and you want to ride I would do this, take tire off, rim tape, etc. Remove spoke and nipple, carefully straighten spoke best as possible, reinstall, true wheel. While at it, check for mushrooming at the rim. It could have happened when you dumped from an inadvertent foot, helmet, or surrounding debris. That bend was made by quick blunt force trauma, not by just leaning against something...

The main thing to worry about is the possible mushroom at the rim, even if no cracks are showing, it could lead to failure down the road. Hope it goes well.
