Just 4 short months ago I never even dreamed that I would be able to do this again. I have a drink holder attached to my mic stand and always have water available. My salivary function is slowly coming back.
Congratulations about making it to the concert - there really is life after all of this and it is certainly a whole lot more precious than before.
