I am sorry to read this about you. I am the same age and I really have started trying to be more careful with walking and stepping up on things. I hope your surgery goes well and that you have a full and speedy recovery.

@grandma petes I haven't had elbow surgery, but broke my right wrist in two places, had surgery and pins put in.
suggestions:
Tell your bank before writing a check with your left hand, it won't match their records! You CAN write with left hand. I even cut and colored my hair with one hand. Practice.
Shower with a plastic bag over it.
Get a can opener that's battery and runs around the top of cans.
Read books on I pad or kindle
Faithfully do therapy and exercises!
I'm no help about dressing since I could move my arm, but you can figure it out and I hope you will be on the road to recovery ASAP!

I fractured my wrist about 10 years ago. I slid on ice in the parking lot of my building. My right wrist. So I know but you'll quickly learn how to do some things with just one arm. We just adapt. It's going to be hard but not as hard as you think it will be now. I only took a week off work, pecked at my keyboard with my left hand. My coworkers were very helpful. Good luck with your surgery, praying you have a speedy recovery.
