I think that you could get away with a few miles on a bad ball joint, though I don't know how bad it really is. My advice would be to rotate your tires very often, every 1500miles, if you plan on going this route. Do you need to replace the stantion arm with the lower control arm, anybody? I think it only takes an hour, maybe 1.5 hours, to remove and reinstall the lower control arm. $700 sounds about right. I usually wouldn't recomend this, but have you thought about picking up a set, or pair, of used tires just to get you through until June? I did this for my 1990 Camry, back up for my back up(grocery getter), a couple of years ago. IIRC the whole set, with about 50% tread, was under $100 installed.
