Kick all four strokes (A4S), kick with fins free/back/fly, swim 1-arm A4S, swim 1-arm with fins A4S, pull 1-arm free/back/fly, pull w/ paddles 1-arm free/back, etc. I think you get the drift, just try to swim, pull, and kick A4S but with just your right arm. 1-arm free, fly and breast are not too bad; 1-arm back is more challenging but if you just swim your backstroke right next to the lane rope it is do-able. As you gradually get the use and strength of your left side back, you might even be a stronger swimmer overall. :)

That's pretty much what I did while mine healed. I started out kicking with fins but ditched them after a while at the suggestion of my coach. I still used them when I was dolphin kicking...otherwise I would have been eating water. ;) 1 arm worked well too if you can keep the injured side relatively immobile.
