Wait a minute, you never even consulted me for this matter.
The truth is, A cranial injury such as you experienced can have a devastating impact on your future. You see, working in such a career field as yours, ideas and creativity are integral to ones success. A jarring impact, such as a baseball or an anvil to the head, are bad, but not the worst. A deflection injury such as above will involve a stationary cranium being influenced by an object in motion. The object in motion will sustain the brunt (no pun intended Brant) of the damage due to not only the point of impact, but also a sudden change in direction. The worst kind of cranial injury is the one that you sustained, in which the cranium is the moving object that sustains not only a point of impact injury, but then cascading injuries from the sudden change in direction. The asphault, being stationary, sustained only minor damage. In injuries such as this, ideas and creativity are actually forced not by the impact, but rather the sudden change of direction, directly out of ones nasal passages out into the atmosphere. If one is lucky, passersby will help collect the ideas and creativity immediately following a cranial deflection or impact, before they can disipate into the ozone layer, thus creating a larger hole and supporting the green-house effect.
My point is this: you are not allright, nor will you be for some time.
Sorry.
But look on the bright side, at least you surgery was a success!

Research has proven that holding your breath during a mobile-cranial-to-stationary-object impact can indeed minimize the effect of the collision. However, in cases such as yours, where unconsciousness becomes a factor, the individual usually loses control oh his/her breathing patterns and the brain will take over... resulting in normal breathing. This is why it's impossible to commit suicide by holding ones breath.
As far as hitting people on the head, that's acceptable as long as it is not your head you are using to hit them with.
Keep in mind that just as it is unfortunate to lose ones ideas and/or creativity through an unfortunate mobile-cranial-to-stationary-object impact, it is equally beneficial to an individual to be present when such an accident occurs so that one may breath in and take advantage of the now-present ideas and creativity.
the moral is:
One mans loss is another Mans gain.
