By about 4-5 weeks post-surgery you should be able to at least sit at the machine for about 5-10 minutes at a time and sew squares. In 2007 I fell and broke my right shoulder in 2 places,the collarbone and tore the rotator cuff. Gentle hugs for a good recovery. I learned to write left handed too.
Have your quilty friends cut a bunch of squares for you, so you can at least piece when you're able. My friends did that for me and I ended up with enough for baby quilt.
This is the quilt.
