Take the chance to work on your left hand. Learn and master the LH parts of all those pieces, and make sure you let your RH heal as fast as it possibly can, but don't rush it. And don't use it until a doctor says you should: you don't want it to heal, start playing and then it be injured again from playing too soon now do you?
