Is Flying Safe After A Head Injury?

I was dancing lost my balance and hit the wooden floor on my left front tempal lobe. Had a vey large lump and swelling around eyebrow to the hairline and inside socket. Treated lump with ice pack, had 2 doses of homeopathic rescue remedy and 1 dose of arnica homeopathic pillules. Lump went down significantly but still some swelling. Very black and purlple along lid into corner of eye and under eye. Looks nasty. Sore but no headache, no bloodshot eyes. Am I able to fly after 40 hours from accident? Thank you.
