Wheel bearing gone and ABS light on.

The ordeal started out with the ABS and Brake lights coming on. Brakes worked fine so I kept going. About 20 miles later the steering got goofy. Pulled over on the freeway and tried to find what was going on. I thought maybe I had a pad fall apart or dragging or something. Couldn't find anything so I slowed down and drove the last 10 miles to my stop. Unloaded and then started looking again. Found it. Driver's side wheel bearing is gone. I mean gone. Rollers are laying loose and pieces of bearing or race or whatever are falling off. Brakes were fine until about 1 mile from the stockyards. Then the pedal went soft. Brakes still look fine and everything. Is the ABS screwing with the brakes 'cause the sensor is most likely fubar'd?

Sorry if that's a little jumbled. It's been a long night and I'm tired. Tomorrow ain't gonna be much easier.
