Check with your insurance company that you are still covered.

I've driven with my left wrist in plaster and Incorrigible drove an automatic with his left foot in plaster, both after checking with our insurance companies. If you don't inform your insurers and have an accident...

1) Could invalidate your insurance.

Other than that..shouldn't be too much of a problem in an automatic transmission car..
