Gene, Just take it easy and do what the doctors tell you.
As for stuff to do that is not so physically demanding, it seems your printer came at the right time. You can use it for simple things but also for projects that require a great deal of thinking. Someone asked a while back for a palm-sized printable continuously variable gearbox. (think of using rubber balls for "gears" so the effective radius depends on "latitude") Some one else asked me to make a small toy for kids 8 and up. There is lots to do in the space where machines weigh in at 100 grams or less.
