Mist, a One-Handed Mirrored, Staggered Keyboard
I'm currently using it with (my own custom firmware)[https://github.com/defiant00/purple] and both Artsey and (my attempt at a one-handed layout)[https://github.com/defiant00/soar].

Soar - A One-Handed Chorded Layout
With that said, I've been using a Ferris Sweep + KB2040 + CircuitPython to develop on, and the repo is here if anyone wants to take a look: https://github.com/defiant00/purple

Keyboard design for only one hand?
I am also currently experimenting with one-handed chording layouts using the left side of a Ferris Sweep and a KB2040 board, which gives me 17 keys to play with. I've currently implemented Artsey except for mouse and media keys (soon for those), and am currently working on an analyzer so I can optimize a layout using most/all of the keys. Repository is here: https://github.com/defiant00/purple

One handed typing
You might be interested in Taipo2, it's an optimized version of artsey which should work pretty all right on one hand. It's got barely any movement because it only has 8 keys, so you might even be able to incorporate your second hand into it at some point (if everything heals as well as the doctors say it will which we hope for!). There's also Soar which is a 17 chorded key layout and seems pretty promising. I'm pretty sure dvorak L and R are actually fairly decent onehanded layouts, afaik there's not much new tech out there though. Good luck!
