I had the same experience when, in August as a 20-year-old entering my 3rd year at Temple U. College of Music, I needed to have a tonsillectomy. I literally couldn't play for several weeks - all the air would go out through my nose because the muscles in my throat were so weakened. I've never felt as anxious to be able to play again as I did that fall.

Absence can indeed make the heart grow fonder.
