 The Oboe BBoard

Hi!
I am starting back to playing my oboe after 30+ years. I am very nervous about it, because I have forgotten so much. I'm so glad this bulletin board will let me ask questions as I don't know of any oboists close to me.
My oboe wood seems somewhat dry after being in storage this long. What can I do to recondition the wood? Also, does using silver polish on the keys accomplish anything other than making them look shinier?
For those of you who started back playing after a long hiatus, what can I expect? Sore diaphragm, sore lips, anything else...I 've forgotten what it was like when I started playing. I should tell you I played for 15 years before I became pregnant and stopped playing.
Any help and support you can send me will be greatly appreciated. This is really scary and yet exciting for me.
Thanks so much.
