A keyboard with the keys pulled and replaced in the Dvorak "LH" (left hand) layout might be worth a try. Years ago, I had a hand injury for several weeks and this got me through. Took about a week or two to type reasonably well. It remaps the number row to one side for maximum use of the keys on the strong side.
August Dvorak developed these "LH" and "RH" layouts for amputees. The layouts are well thought out IMHO. It feels like typing on a numeric keypad.
I used Dvorak when I injured my dominant hand. It took me about two weeks to feel comfortable with it. My hand healed a long time ago, but I still use Dvorak (the two handed version mostly) because I think it is easier than Qwerty. I highly recommend this solution.
