Tendonitis caused me to put aside the banjo for six months. That six months turned into a year, and then the intimidation of relearning everything again became too much and here we are a few years later.
I inherited a (quite fancy I must say) banjo from a neighbor who passed away recently and that was the extra push I needed to get back into it.
Muscle memory is an amazing thing. After picking through tablature of familiar songs a couple times muscle memory seems to take over.
