I think that the fact that you continued playing after the surgery is absolutely wonderful. I think you not giving up is a inspiring story waiting to happen. Look at it as a challenge. This is the test. The final test as your preserverence as a horn player. All problems are capable of being overcome. It is just a matter of persistance. If you don't give up everything will work out. Remember there was a time when you couldn't play at all... and any playing is better than not. Be thankful for the notes you can play and be patient with the ones you can't. They will come.
I wish you the best of luck.
