Hi Elizabeth,
As you said, everyone is different, but playing long tones would benefit you in any case- it will force your diaphragm to work more efficiently and thus, improve aeration of the lungs.
If you practice in sitting, then you can place the bell on your thigh/knee and allow your hands to relax.
I see some players using a neck strap to reduce strain on the rt. hand. If you do have problems holding the clarinet, modification to the thumb rest may help.

Using a spirometer would help as well, focusing to achieve steady air flow, not on volume inhaled.

If you did not get one in the hospital, you can get one from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=spirometer&crid=1V7N03RQ0WWPT&sprefix=spirometer%2Caps%2C106&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_10

You may be able to practice only a minute or two at first- that's fine, do one minute a day for one week, then increase time to maybe 2 min.
Do not try to practice 15-20 right away.
