Default Spun bearing how long will it last?

If i just replace the bearing.
I know that is not the best thing to do but i need to drive the car for at least a month. so if i don't run it hard and try to keep it below 3000 rpm will it last me that long? from what i can see and feel the crank is smooth and the rod cap is not chewed up either. I know that some out of shape occured to either the crank or rod but what do you guys think?

It might last, it might not...it's a gamble depending on how badly parts were damaged.

thats about all you can do, pain in the ****. just remember to be careful when your applying torque to the rod bolts.
