Cool After effects of concussion...

I suffered a (minor) concussion three weekends ago. Xrays and CT scan showed nothing serious "just" a concussion. I had a week off work during which time I "slept" about 19hrs out of 24, my speech was slurred, I couldn't concentrate, felt queasy, was lacking coordination and generally below par. I have been back to work, working slightly shorter hours, but I am finding that by early- mid-afternoon my head is really aching and my speech slurs again and concentration goes - writing emails I am making huge numbers of mistakes, even thinking a word is on the screen when it isn't!!!! As I work in a legal department of a bank AND am a temp (so no work, no pay) I need to know if there is anything in particular I can do to get better quicker! Hot days, in particular, make my head ache tremendously...my blood pressure was raised after the incident but don't know now...

Any suggestions please?
