help!!! Partial tear in Leg ligament

So as I am getting ready to go on vacation tomorrow I receive some upsetting news from the vet. On Monday Izzy went to the little dog park area in our apartment and she played with this terrier mix for about 20 minutes. No jumping, no stairs, no hills... just a bit of running around.
On Tuesday Izzy didnt want to get out of her crate... I had to bring her bowl of food and water inside her crate where she ate and didnt want to move. I had to go to work and we left her in the crate all day to rest. When I came home she would walk but she was limping pretty bad, and her right back leg would not touch the floor... she would just hang the back leg and limp around. I called her vet yesterday and he told me to keep an eye on her and if it didnt get better by today for me to bring her in. Izzy plays hard and rough so this is not the first time she limps from one of her legs... but it never lasted this long. Also, previous times she would limp and wobble.,, this time her paw is not touching the floor at all.
7:30am this morning and I was already at the vet... and she was diagnosed with a partial tear in her ligament. He gave me pain medication because he knows we are going out of the country for 10 days and she will stay with my mother in law. Then he told me to bring her back when we return and he will check her again and then determine if surgery is needed..... He did mention the possibility of her healing on its own.
Anybody in our forum has any experience with tear ligament? What are the chances she will heal on her own???? I am so upset to go on vacation when she needs me the most
