Later Jeff and I joked that I could have gone to a veterinarian for a tourniquet, tegaderm, and waterproof bandaging, for about a hundreth of the price.

I'm a little surprised they didn't cauterize it (even chemically), though. That's what they did when my mom cut off her fingertip.

I have had 5 operations on my right knee (from torn cartilege to a torn ACL) and always assumed I couldn't/shouldn't run. When I signed up for my first triathlon two years ago I did the couch to 5k program and was amazed that I never had any knee pain, at all. I've since gone on to run several 5ks and even trained for a half-marathon this past fall. I didn't experience any knee pain until I got up to about 10 miles and I think that had more to do with not stretching appropriately than anything else. Long story short, try to increase your mileage but do it slowly. Good luck! Re: upping your running mileage – perhaps if you do it in small increments it won’t be so bad.
