Was the unfortunate recipient of a minor one friday pm, (non training related)... for the most part the headaches are controlled with NSAIDS unless I do something active, but how long was it before you felt "normal" again.

Up to a couple weeks. Mine took a week before I felt normal doing everyday tasks, a little longer for heavy stuff.

As long as it takes...and then some.

I don't think there's a clear answer on this.  I wrecked last July and suffered a concussion.  I then thought I could still do my race the very next day.  Turns out I needed about 4 weeks to fully recover and even ended up missing work for a few days that first week. 

Do some reading about the dangers of a second impact/concussion while already concussed.  Really scary stuff.  You don't want to take any chances when it comes to your head.
