Very sorry to hear about it, I feel(felt) your pain. But dont even think about it.

BTDT with plates and screws in the same ankle. You'll likely not have enough clearance for the boot (you'll probably get a boot instead of a cast if your gonna have surgery....) between the brake and gas.

Spent 2 months driving with my left foot in an automatic before I could take the boot off when driving.

It's too dangerous with it on, dont' try it. Might as well work from the perspective that you're a one footed driver for couple months.
