Replying to Stretched the ol' meniscus...what to expect?

Yeah so I don't know exactly how it happened but I walked off skiing sunday with a huge pain in my left knee. I thought it was from some bail I took but it kept on all through monday. I'd felt it be pretty stiff the past week, too. So I went to the doctor, he told me I had a "stretched meniscus." So I was scared shitless, he said I might not be able to ski for 1-2 months, but it could be a lot shorter. He's checking it out tomorrow again, it was only a 10 minute checkup.

I know it's not torn...or if it is, it's a very small tear. I can definitely still ski, I would just take it real easy, but I want to be able to have a strong knee for when I go into the comp season. Any of you guys have experience with this? What should I be expecting?
