Physically I think you'll be in too much pain to push down the throttle with your newly fused right foot. Quite aside from that you must consider that your insurance will be void to drive the car after such an operation that adversely affects your driving abilities.
My advice is to give up on that idea until you're completely healed.
Good luck.

Hi! I had subtalar fusion on my right ankle at 33 years old. I was back driving a manual transmission about a year later. Good luck!
