If you hurt your knee with a twist it might be a bit different than mine, but if they are going to use scopes ( the best way these days), it shouldn't be bad at all. Take advantage of all your offered time off, and just rest. 
We'll hold all our questions for when you get back

Dear AJ:
This helps. I think what you describe is what will be done to me. Depending on where the tear actually is, some tears can be sowed as they have adequate blood supply. Those are normally to the outside of the knee.
I believe mine will require the scrape or small removal of the torn part. Yes, I am sure all work will be done by scope (Orthoscopic). I have never had even so much as a broken finger in my life so this is all new to me. I am just going online and reading everything I can find!
