What Do Pain And Swelling In The Hips On The Left Side Indicate?

At noon I fell and now have a swollen left hip with some pain. It is now 4:54PM. I am Hosting a group tonight which will require sitting down for a considerable time. I plan to see Urgent Care for a review and X-Ray early in the AM. Am I making a mistake for not going to see the Doctor tonight? I am 84 and in reasonably good health.
