Tape it up with some duct tape and then tie it up to another branch so it has slight pressure bending in the opposite direction so if its falling down.. tie it up that way it can stay mended and heal. I did the same thing and ripped it off and it was hanging by a thread.. 3 days later or so it was all healed up..

Some of the lower branches will drop but it's just redirecting energy leave the drooping branches alone don't cut them off or anything. Time will tell if she pulls through

I use masking tape, same idea. You cannot save them all, but if you act fast you can usually rescue them, OP

Still lush and green up to this point,untied the branch it was tied too and now its standing free on its own,kinda amazing how they can fix themselves with a little tape :) btw would it be ok to try the lst on the same spot? Just not go as hard this time obvs or would it be too weak from the previous crack?

Nearby maybe, but be careful. It is probably still vulnerable near there. I like to pinch and then bend the stem over a finger like a pipe bender. Pinch, give it a bit of a twist, and then bend, is how I would describe it.

I wouldn't lst in the same spot just yet. You can supergroup it up a little bit higher. Which means just squishing the stem in your fingers and bending it. Maybe slowly try to tie it down a little at a time first.
