Recovery Time

[BigUmp56]

Earlier this week while working the plate, I was plunked in the head while on the line counting pitches between innings. I never saw the damned ball coming from left field before it hit me. One minute I was standing there waiting for the battery to take it down, and the next I was seeing stars. I took a few minutes to try and shake it off, but when I got back to calling pitches I struggled terribly. This was early in the game, and I probably should have switched with my partner for the remainder of the game, but my ego got the best of me and I battled through it. I knew I was stinking up the place, but nothing I did seemed to help me recover from the blow. Is there a method that you've used to help you recover from something like this?
