So what should I do? Take the two weeks off and then start again at day 1? Or continue doing UB lifting (since the injury was entirely to my leg, I think that would be safe) and then pick up where I left off after the stitches come out? What do you think?

Oh Sarah, sorry to here about your fall. Something similar happened to me. When I was 4 weeks into BFL, I tripped while running and splattered on the sidewalk. I had big gashes on my elbows and hands as well as my legs. I ended up taking a month off and then I just started over from scratch as soon as I could.
If you can still do the upper body lifting that's great. I would still do upper body once or twice a week and then start over when possible after the stiches are out. Although I'd be careful even with the upper body, we can tense up our whole body when hitting those "tens". So if you do, do upper body be careful. But, I too am interested to see what Nat thinks about this.
I really hate to see this happen to you when you were doing so well. But do your best to stay motivated and you'l be back in full force soon.
