Best Answer

Harriet Tubman never fully recovered from that accident, and often times during her perilous journeys harboring runaways to freedom she would get dizzy spells and come close to passing out. That was a result from being hit in the head with the metal iron. However, she ranaway to freedom herself about a month after the accident, before the bruising and swelling went down. She didn't let that diminish her determination, and returned over twenty times to bring other slaves to freedom.
