Will my Aloe vera plant survive after all of the leaves broke off?

Question

I have made the same mistake as the person who asked the question Can I save my damaged Aloe vera plant?: my Aloe vera plant fell off of its stand and all of the leaves bent and broke off except for a tiny new one on top. The stem didn't break though.

Will my Aloe survive? Will it grow new leaves again? How should I care for it at this point?

Care for it normally. It should grow leaves again given time, although some of them may grow out as side shoots from the main branch.

Should I remove the 2 long remaining leaves? – Carol Oct 22 '13 at 02:22
No, leave them. Otherwise the plant won't have any way to make food to help it recover. – TeresaMcgH Oct 22 '13 at 15:25
