Not riding is difficult but sometimes the most prudent thing is the most difficult.

If you do ride and the wheel fails, resulting in you getting hurt, you might not be able to ride for longer than it will take to replace the wheel, or maybe the bike, for that matter.

If you end up with a cast or crutches, even walking normally might have to be postponed, as might your workplace duties if you need to be mobile to be productive.

Ahhh, it's at times like this that I treasure my ability to think so negatively.
