Can you wear one day contact lenses for more than one day?

My glasses broke and I went and got a new percription for them but I have to wait about a week before they will be done. I also got contacts but the doctor reccomended that I use one day throw away lenses because I probably wouldn't use them every day. I only have 5 pairs and I can't wear my old glasses because they drive me nuts because they are broken. Could I wear a pair of one day disposable contact for two or three days just for the first week so I make sure I don't have to wear my broken glasses again. Has anyone done it?
