The fact that you were able to type this question into this forum, find this website by navigating through the internet, and comprehend sufficiently to pose the question suggests that the "thinking" part of your brain is intact. If you feel there are physical changes that have reduced or inhibited neurological function to your body, limbs, etc. then, you would require a neurological examination to assess for that side of the equation. Bottom line is you would need to be examined and have tests done in order to confirm the presence of any "damage."
