Looks like my paralysis is a facial palsy caused by viral infection in one of the brain blood vessels. I should recover fully, though it will take time, and I will most likely have to skip out on the meeting with my idol Calista Flockhart next month. (I will still send money to Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance anyway.)
I'll have to take it easy for the foreseeable future, and when I am cured, I will push for moving out from my parents' place, because living together is a source of stress.
At least my mother is starting to see that my female gender presentation is an integral part of me, which helps - but she still can't see me as a woman outright, which stinks.
