so even after they get the unfreezing part down, they still have to wait around until the cure for whatever killed you in the first place is available.
In all likelihood it'll be the other way around. Whatever originally "killed" yo will probably be much easier to repair than the incidental damage caused by the suspension process itself. As much as vitrification strives to preserve cellular structures with as little damage as possible, a certain degree of damage on the molecular level is unavoidable, and the current expectation is that it'll require the ability to repair cells on a molecular level (nanotechnology) to reverse the process. If you can do that then you've already developed the ability to repair whatever first caused you to "deanimate".
