Also, as it sounds like your head was resting against a pillow, there would be no whiplash effect, so your brain wouldn't have moved and smashed against your skull.
Penetrating injuries aside, so much TBI damage occurs from brain/skull contact, as opposed to purely skull/object impact.
Monitor yourself and try to take it easy.

Thanks, Hockey. I guess anybody's head would hurt after being hit with a toy. Pain doesn't necessarily equal a concussion. I'm a person who gets dizzy and nauseous easily, too, so that could be part of it.
I used an ice pack on my head and neck for about 20 mins. Also took some extra Vitamin C and curcumin because it made me feel proactive lol.
I think I just flipped out because I finally feel like I'm getting parts of my life back (my career, for example) and I don't want to lose it all again.
