Default Frustrated need suggestions looking for lefty deer gun

I am not as strong as I once was. Finding that most shotguns are too heavy for me since my neck injury. I have been leagally blind in my right eye since birth and being righthanded I learned to shoot left. So now I am looking for a great deer rifle or slug gun that is lefty, light weight and accurate. I don't want to have to sell the farm but could manage a couple grand. So are there any left handed people out there with some suggestions for this older gal that still loves the hunt?

Left handed firearms are not easy to come by.

I live in Indiana and the regulations are as follows for rifle cartridges and handgun cartridges. So it does further limit me.
Rifles with cartridges that fire a bullet of .357-inch diameter or larger; have a minimum case length of 1.16 inches; and have a maximum case length of 1.8 inches are legal to use only during the deer firearms and special antlerless seasons. Some cartridges legal for deer hunting include the .357 Magnum, .38-.40 Winchester, .41 Magnum, .41 Special, .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .44-.40 Winchester, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .458 SOCOM, .475 Linebaugh, .480 Ruger, .50 Action Express, .500 S&W, .460 Smith & Wesson, .450 Bushmaster, and .50 Beowulf.
Some handgun cartridges that are legal for deer hunting include .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .45 Colt, .45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester Magnum, .35 Remington and .357 Herrett.
