Help! Will this axle last?

My wife's '95 Max is grinding constantly from the driver side axle during forward movement. The boot is ripped and I know it needs to be fixed but Raxles can't get me a replacement until this weekend. What can I do to prolong the life of this axle just a little longer? Squirt some grease in the boot? This is approaching critical I'm affraid...

Many thanks!

can always get a rebuilt axle at a local car parts shop. About $50. Don't drive fast or hard. I drove 300 miles on an axle like that and It about fell apart when I pulled in the driveway. Dont drive at hwy speeds.
