Please, get off the IQ worry. Instead, worry about how you apply the skills you have. Now, go apply yourself to something productive.
I like mark's reply. My IQ is 140+. I have been slower than a turtle lately but I'm still sharp. Everything I do takes longer but I'm still in the concussion stage. I've not healed yet. I am having to be more deliberate in everything that I do at work. I believe that once healed my IQ or my ability to process information could be different - I hope not- but could be. However, it will be just as successful. Best of luck to you.
