I hope they didn't leave it actually loose when you drove home. That big nut puts a pre-load on the wheel bearings to hold them together. Hopefully, they loosened it, re-tightened it enough so you could just get it back off. Maybe (??) if the wheel bearing is damaged, you can feel it by spinning the hub...
Putting it back on... I use new nuts when I replace the CV boots, because the kit has new nuts. When I take it off for other reasons, I've put the nut back on (inspect it first). The torque for that is about 180 lbf-ft, so put a pipe on a breaker bar & stand on it at the right distance so that:
(your weight) * (distance) = 180 lbf-ft.
Good luck
Jim
