Default Possible reinjury but possibly not??

So ever since I got the stupid concussion in October, I've been programmed to think that somebody elses head bumping your head is the be all end all. Through this website and even by word of mouth I feel like I've only heard of people walking away from head to head hits with a concussion. SO anyway, yesterday i was leaving to go back to college. My one rule when you hug me is PLEASE watch my head. My dad forgot I guess and went to hug me and dropped the side of his head straight onto the side of mine. I tried to move my head out of the way but since my reaction time was off his head still bumped mine and then my jaw caught some impact too. I'm not joking when I say my body went instantly into a cold sweat and probably like 5 minutes later I just broke down crying. Besides the obvious symptoms coming from anxiety, I'm not a complete mess. I mean it hasn't even been 24 hours so I guess I could still gain symptoms but other than an increased headache and increased tinnitus, I believe my other symptoms are pretty much where they were at before it. Maybe my eyes seem a little blurrier. I mean I'm nowhere symptomatically that I was when I first hit my head in October. I also do vision therapy and after his head hit mine there was no decrease in my reaction time. I even was able to type an essay last night. Although this just doesn't make sense to me because I'm not sure how I'm walking away from another persons head hitting mine while i'm already concussed without a significantly jarred injury??? Is this even possible? I'm literally sitting around looking for symptoms and turning it over and over in my head but nothing is really significant yet. Is this even possible?? I was pretty positive another head hitting your own was pretty much a death sentence.
