how much time generally it take  get retina recovered fron injury and detachment ?

By far the most important thing for you is to protect your "good eye" from disease or injury. You should wear impract resistant glasses (even if they do not have a prescription in them) to prevent another injury.

If you vision has not come up in the injured eye by 4 to 6 months after injury its not likely to improve further.

Your other eye will not get poorer due to the hitting incident, you must take good care of this left eye like wearing safety glasses for protection against direct eye traumas.

Since now much of the vision is coming from left eye you should take proper rest to reduce eye strain.

Vision quality from right eye may slightly improve in coming days but will not be comparable with the other eye so it will not be used by your brain for vision.
