Answers:
Don't worry you should be fine.
I'm a dental assistant, I've seen quite a few patients whose temps have fallen off or fractured, one even swallowed it, and they walk around without it for two weeks. As long as you don't have sensitivity don't worry, you'll be just fine until you get it cemented back in a few days.
If it really bothers you try using some fixodent and put it in yourself. You can also go to a drug store and get some over the counter cement but that might make it harder for your dentist to remove the crown, he might have to section it. When you go back to get it recemented ask them if they have samples of a product called TempBond. That's what we use to cement temps in and we give our patients an individual sample pack for situations just like yours.
Hope that helps! :)
