The new acronym is PRICE-(used to be rice)
Protect
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Do this as your front line and you should get evaluated by a doc...

Has the dislocated patella left you with any problems?
Do you have a swollen knee?
Your recovery will be based on the severity of your symptoms now, if that makes sense?

Thanks again.
In reality, a patella dislocation, assuming no significant quadriceps tendon or patellar ligament injury, is not a serious injury to recover from, and you should be good as new within the next 3 to 4 weeks. If you have a quadriceps tendon injury, or a patellar ligament injury, then that's will take some time to recover from.
Rehabilitation will be really important, so when you are at that stage, please ask further questions as I know there are people on the site that can help.
Good luck
