How long does a scratched cornea take to heal?

Around the beginning of July, I wore soft cosmetic contact lens. The contact lens are quite large- they're supposed to make your eyes look bigger.
I put them on; they were sitting in solution for weeks, so I guess the water was absorbed in them? They were dry.
I kept them on for hours, ended up having a swollen eye, many tears, red eye, etc. I had a scratched cornea. It was a big scratch.
i was given cream to put under my eye at night, and eyedrops to take every half an hour.
This was in the beginning of July, end of June. It's now July 25.
Is it healed, or? Can I put the contacts back in?
