How Long Does It Take For Healing After A Knee Replacement?

I have arthritis in my knee and need to have it replaced. I have already had one replaced. I teach school and was wondering if I have it done during spring break, how long will I have to miss school? The other one I had done in the summer so it was not a problem.

Thanks ,

Nancy
