Let it recover and show some real good growth then you can think about doing something too it.

I would be getting Growth back toward the trunk to get away from the long skinny branches and Unless yo want a formal upright I would remove the top section of trunk and tilt it at the next repot to start some initial movement out of the ground

ps always good to see recycled plants rather than just chucking them out.
