Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes. It seems I don't spread enough to hit you back which is an odd state of affairs.
I have to reckon that I sprained my knee somehow. I do recall twisting my knee to make it pop while I was out walking one of the dogs but who knows? My knees always pop and crack while I'm doing my initial three sets of squats, and often beyond, so I thought nothing of it at the time.
The knee is still stiff and it's still uncomfortable to stress it and it hurts slightly when I do heavy lifting, like picking up a 25Kg dog. As such, I'm still staying away from squatting. I had considered doing some wide and high box squats but am leery of worsening the knee. I think that until I can do a free-standing squat without discomfort then squats are right out as are deadlifts or anything similar. I'm not even happy about the idea of doing OHP for fear of over-tensing the joint and hurting it. All it would take would be a slight topple and I could lose control of my balance.
On the other hand, it does feel slightly improved pretty much every day.

I guess, like they say, when all you have is lemons you should make lemonade. I have been benching sporadically, in the expectation that I'd be back into full swing before long but it's time to get serious again with the weights and hope not to suffer a pec tear.
I'll flat bench on Mondays and Fridays with incline benching or floor press on Wednesdays, maybe both. I'll add in other exercises as bodyparts come back online. I'm still not comfortable dipping, for example. It's amazing how much one uses a knee.
