Once you regained use of your right hand did it take any time to get back to full typing speed using both hands? How close to your two hand WPM did you achieve

  I'm adding my comment here to "pile on" and say that I'm very interested in the answers to these questions, too. I tried to learn a one handed keyboard back in college (Matias Half Keyboard) just to see if there was any benefit to always having one hand on the kb and one on the mouse. I never did find out; I gave up learning how to type with one hand after a month and sent the keyboard back.

  The biggest obstacle was the swelling in the wrist after surgery. I had to keep it elevated for quite a long time, and it would throb and be painful when I lowered it to the keyboard. That passed gradually over 2 months. The finger dexterity never left, the moments I held my hand there I could type at ~80% speed without problems from early on. With just my left hand, I could only manage more like 20%, which felt very very slow to me. The bottleneck with half-querty was the modifier key, which I had to hit very often to switch layouts. If you could move that to something else, that layout could speed up much more. Had I been out of action much longer, I might have tried some kind of custom one-handed chording setup instead.
