Sure sounds like a bad alternator. Depending on where your alternator is mounted you may be able to put 12VDC directly from the battery in to the alternator windings and manually force your alternator to crank full amperage. Pretty much a bench test on the car. Coupled with watching your Volt meter you should see those 12.2 numbers jump up to the mid-13 to 14 VDC range. A healthy battery at rest fully charged should volt meter about 13+ volts.
