I was in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago. Cut my right palm open quite deep and had to have stitches.
I got really into text-based games like Echo Bazaar (mentioned on Extra Credits). You should have a look, and that goes for anyone!
Hope you arm gets better soon.

If you got a DS then I suggest- LOZ Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Track, Hotel Dusk, Last Window, Animal Crossing, Advance Wars (I not too sure on this one) and Pokemon.
Steel Battalion... but seriously pull that off and you are god

As people ave said, Pokemon. Some of the GBA onwards games have a function where you can set the left shoulder button to have the same function as 'A'. So I guess it's possible to play one handed.
If you like Shadowrun or Cyberpunk in general and can appreciate good indie games, try Decker. Its a little confusing at the beginning but can be extremely addicting,turn based "hacking" gamen in a visualised cyberspace (matrix[not the movie, the SR term]). Smugglers IV would be a great thing too, turn based game very much like Wing Commander: Privateer mixed with sid meier's Pirates!.
Point and Click adventure games should work well. Telltale is having a sale right now, 75% off most of their games. I would suggest picking up Sam & Max as well as Tales of Monkey Island. They come as seasons, five episodes a piece. Although it isn't part of the sale, the Back to the Future point and click looks very well done as well.
World of Goo is another good one for one handed gaming. I think I'll skip the joke; it is too easy to make one with that title and your current needs. It is a construction game in which you must use goo balls to build structures to reach a goal and transport non-used goo balls. There is a demo that you can try out to see if it is for you. It is fully mouse driven, but can get a bit frantic in some stages. So, if you lack dexterity in your left hand you may have issues playing it.
Spacechem is another puzzle game that I have fallen in love with. It would work out well for you since almost all the gameplay is setting up your reactors then running the programs. Only the boss fights take place in real time and even those are just the matter of throwing switches that can be handled by one hand. Once again, try out the demo and see what you think. I do warn you, it gets far more complex after where the demo cuts you off. So, don't think the game won't challenge you.
You may also want to check out a game called Altitude. It is a 2D aerial combat (dogfighting) game which can be controled solely by the keyboard. Most of the game takes place online in pvp and the last time I was on -- which has been awhile now that I think about it-- it was still a pretty lively game. Once again, demo to be had so you can fly it before you buy it.

I hear Rapelay only requires one hand.
But seriously your in luck my friend. Nows the time to head over to GOG and get ahold of the SpaceQuest and KingsQuest collections. Don't go to steam thoose are buggy and require alot of knowhow to get working. Also look for the Monkey Island games. The first two have been remastered. Then go and pick yourself up a copy of UFO: Enemy unknown.
