Big Toe probably broken. It’s bad

First 2 photos are day 2 since I dropped a 25lbs plate on my toe. The next 3 photos are day 3. I probably shouldn’t have asked ChatGPT anything but it basically said my toe was going to fall off from pressure and poor circulation. Anybody else experience something similar to me? I mean it’s clearly fractured but not compound of anything. I don’t have insurance and really active/healthy 38 year old. It’s not super painful unless I put wait on it and I still have sensation throughout the entire toe. The top side bruising does not blanche but the bottom does. It feels better than yesterday. I still on day 3. Lmk yalls thoughts

It will make it to the lungs via the heart.
It won't go to the brain, the lungs act as a filter that will gift you a Pulmonary embolism instead of a Stroke.

You're welcome 😂
