Well, don't freak. First, good job not beating the shit out of it. That's a big plus.

There are a couple directions you could go.

Detailed approach:
You need a fresh start because the leftovers are toast. You can have it trailered to a shop for another oil change. Ask to have the remainder saved in a clean container. Send it off for a used oil analysis to have it checked for contamination. Explain the situation so the analyst knows what to look for.

If you take it to a real shop to have the oil changed they can test the oil pressure. If it's ok, just drive it like normal. Have the oil tested at the next change to look for a trend.


Fuck-it approach:
Fill it with oil now. Drive it. Listen for noises. No noises? Cool. Get the oil changed again because you want to get rid of the leftover shit mixed with your fresh oil.

Call it good. It's probably what I would do.
