Surgery... off hand practice?

I'd love to say I was an ambidextrous person, but I'm not. Anyways, in five or so days, I will be getting surgery on my right shoulder, therefore restricting me from any throwing. I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for throwing/practicing with your off hand. I know this seems rather pointless, but I'd like to have something to keep me entertained.

I can throw relatively accurate with my left arm, however when it comes to strength and accuracy combined that is where I struggle significantly. My left arm is just as strong as my right, but I would like to know if any of you have any conditioning exercises/tricks (aside from "just practice") when it comes to throwing with your less-dominant arm. I know that practicing is key because that is what I am doing... but if anybody has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thorn Style is how I throw, and it is so intuitive that I can throw just as well with my left as as can with my right hand. I have only been throwing for a couple of months and learning to throw that way from the beginning was the trick. I will, to impress my boys of 6 and 11, throw 2 knives at once - one with each hand.
