That is not what I meant.

That is what I meant. I suggest you talk to people who have attempted to "reverse" their career change to see just how "easy" it was. Maybe your specific industry or professional relationships will make it a piece of cake to jump right back in where you left. But I somehow doubt it will be that easy after you've been away for a few years.
