Hey pal! I spent most of 2018 with no arms because of nerve damage. Eventually, I got left arm back after surgery worked. But I am 1-armed after complication in my right arm. It has been...3 months of that!

Anyway, I am able to function pretty well after practice. It sounds like you have other concerns, with the surgeries still very recent, and things must feel like they are crushing down on you. But, I can touch type 1-handed at about 60wpm with my left hand! now and live a pretty full life, work, etc. I do manage to play EQ too, entirely left handed. But I have had a year of warming these talents up.

Put hand in center of keyboard. Eventually you will have spacial sense that lets you zip around all over the place and type pretty dang fluently. Still, I do have to tell my groupmates the deal when I do play. But I am perfectly useful.

Wishing speedy recovery. important thing is to stay positive! Accept the "new normal" and develop skills for managing your life in it, and things are not so bad. I forget I even have a limp right hand to carry around now. Of course pain is another matter, but it will fade.

also, I can't recommend long walks and hikes enough. activities which don't engage your arms will let you feel normal and forget for awhile.

"go with the flow" and attack life from what angles remain open to you!

good luck!

Thanks man , you're right I am dam positive in pain. It will heal , i was almost hand paralyzed , i feel lucky that my nerve wasn't cut...
