The latest was a cuke that had a tree branch fall on it. I now just have
the stem poking up. Is there any way to fix or at least alleviate the
damage?

Was it already bearing? Or very young? If it's already
well established, what have you got to lose if you just wait a while
to see
if it recovers? Be nice to it; give it some (not overwhelming
amount) of good food and gentle water, and send positive
thoughts g.
