Don't worry, your plant is not essentially starting over. It will continue to use the same corm, root system and the leaf remaining, it is only sending up a replacement P-stem. The growth will be much quicker than if you had to start over. Try to examine the old P-stem later it could be a good learning ezperience, the damage might be fairly obvious.
Good Luck and happy growing.
