As you recover you may find you have some habits you have to break.
-
You are too young to know but when I learned to drive cars did not have directional signals. Drivers signaled - but out of politeness. You stuck your hand out of the window and indicated your intention, you pointed if you were turning left.

The Air Corp Taught us to fly a rectangular traffic pattern when landing. Nice sharp left and turns.
-
While landing my open cockpit bi-plane I was overfilled with military correctness and gave the land signal for a left turn.
Keep getting better
