Hey terrence I been working with an athlete of simular circumstance as yours.
Only one knee though and 1 age group bellow yours.
Best to focus on the right parameters and forget about others...

After some trial/error, she came back stronger than before!

This is how we did it:

Most of her overall conditioning came from solid swim training.
Strenght/stamina training was done on the bike and made sure to never go to low of RPM.

Running was tricky.
The most intensity came from negative split, to make sure the knee was nice and loose.
Virtually no stop and go running.
Plenty of gradient treadmill sets because you get the uphills but no downhills =)

Also another key was to often run after a bike ride or after swim.
Since opening/loosening the knee was always better before running.

A positive attitude is also very crutial.
Especially since it will probably be a bumpy road back up...
