you'll be fine, if it's not too severe a cartilage tear then you should be able to use your knee as normal even before the surgery.
And if you do get the op done then it's a day case and you should be out within a matter of hours.
I had mine done a few years ago and was back riding my BMX within a month.
Just rest it until you think it feels as it should.
glucosomine is a good suggestion, but again, i'm not convinced.
i did end up tearing my ACL and having most of my cartilage removed so i guess that's mhy.
good luck with the recovery
