First of all, welcome back to music!
I agree with Karl, a two-hour session is too much in your first or second week back. Scale back to multiple short sessions (20-30 minutes) and give yourself plenty of recovery time in between.
I am sorry to hear about your right hand. I suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and had that operation a few years ago. I also have arthritis in my right thumb and I am probably going to need some work done on that in 2019. It's tough to get old, but it beats the alternative. :-)
If you were that good in high school, I doubt it will take you a year to get back into the groove. Many community bands do not require auditions and if you can find one in your area you can join it and actually play your way into shape.
Cheers,
Ron
