heck no, i've had snakes so intractably eggbound they required surgery, and then laid successfully the next year. so think positive! it looks like you handled your situation very well, btw. (when my vet aspirates an egg he usually administers an antibiotic too, to suppress the chance of infection. wish i could tell you what antibiotic, but i don't know, sorry)
peace
