Hello Dallas
If this were me, I would have the oboe serviced before I even tried to play it, the bore will need oiling, or it may crack if it is as dry as I think it may be.
Also, all of the pillar joints will have dried out and will need oiling, and the pads/corks will also have dried out and need replacing.
My understanding is that oboes do not respond too kindly to not being played regularly - at least that is what Howarths in the UK have told me.
Yes, your lips will be sore, you will realise that your lungs are not what they once were, and your fingers will seem rather stiff etc.
I hope this is some help
Regards
Karen
