Default Some questions regarding Traumatic Brain Injury

Last year during the summer I had an accident while I was hiking in the mountains.I felt around 15 meters and besides numerous contusions, broken ribs etc I fractured my skull and had a concussion, to this day I don't remember what happened in that day or the day before, only what my friends told me.
In the day of the accident and the next day, I never loss consciousness but my mind was mess, I kept asking for water and asking what had happened over and over again, I also didn't knew who my friends were anymore.In the second day and forward I recovered my mind and could remember my friends.
This all happened in Morocco, so medical care wasn't that great.When I got back to my country I did a cat scan and all seemed normal (although at the time the doctors were more worried with my pneumothorax).
A year has passed and I feel more or less back to normal, I read about some of the symptoms a person that suffers brain injury could have and I dont think I have any of them besides my memory not being so good or a bit more difficulty having a good night sleep.
Now for the questions.

1) Should I consult an expert in this field to do a follow up? Doing another cat scan, comparing it with the oldest one, or is it not really needed since I am not feeling the symptoms?

2) I love doing sports, do I still limitations in terms of things I can or can't do because of my accident, or since a year has passed, can I do pretty much everything again?


P.S - English is not my first language so I am sorry if any of my writing seems a bit funny.
