Knee surgery

So it's a bummer to be so close to the season and have to go in for a knee operation!
all summer I stayed realy healthy, then bam, pain in the knee. I hooked up with Dr.Wilcox at Bay Street Orthopedics in Petoskey Michigan and we decided that it would be best if he just went in to the knee and took a look. We set a date of November 6th and waited it out. When the 6th rolled around and I finaly got in to the operating room i was pretty stoked that when i woke up my knee would be on its way to feeling better! ............but when i woke up it was the opposite.
Turns out that i have a common injury in a not so common area of my knee, making it almost impossible to fix. = Articular Lesion of 22mm by 12mm located under the inside of my knee cap. Bummer!
So i guess I'll be riding in pain this winter while we look for a surgeon that will do the operation for me, seeing as how noone in northern michigan will even come near it!
