I dont have much experience in knees, most of it limited to the ortho floor helping with knee replacemets.
My fear is you might have torn a ligament such as the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) or other major ligament that supports the knee especially if a film was inconclusive.
Perhaps the patellar "chip" might have been a piece of cartilage? Was the word the MD used "effusion"?
In any case I certainly would not wait until thursday or tomorrow but would go somewhere with a reasonably decent ortho ability and be seen right now. Until then RICE (rest-ice-compression-elevation).
