Clipboard thrown at my head today!

I have had a string of really bad luck lately. Aside from elective vein surgery on my legs almost 2 and a half weeks ago. I had a bad blood draw two weeks ago. My arm still hurts and is swollen down in there and I have shooting pains. An MRI will probably be next. Today to TOP IT OFF!! I was working as a teachers aide at a school today. I was in a level 3 handicapped room. These kids are pretty bad off. Two were hitting themselves in the head saying weird things, one in a wheel chair, he doesn't know whats going on. I was with one that was pretty quiet. Then out of the blue this quiet girl next to me (we were all sitting at a table) throws a clipboard backwards and nails me between the eye and temple full force. WOW! I didn't see that one coming. It stung like crazy I think I even saw stars. I was luck it didn't go in my eye or temple. It was swelling and I got ice right away.

The school nurse just told me to look for certain symptoms of a concussion for the next 24 hours. Well its been 8 hours and I feel pretty normal except it is pretty tender where she nailed me. Do you suppose the rest of the night will go ok if I go to sleep. Just a little worried and being precausious. Thanks for any replies.
 
You'll be fine.
Oh and that whole don't sleep after you hit your head, is an old wives tell.
Trust me. You will be alright.
Resting after a head injury is actually better for you, then not resting at all.
