Hello, I Dropped A Laptop On My Foot A Week

Hello, I dropped a laptop on my foot a week ago. I was standing, so it fell about 3 feet, and it went the long side down, so it slammed into the top of my foot. It was painful at the time, and it swelled up like an egg on the top of my foot. I iced it and elevated it, and most of the swelling went down. During the week, the bottom half of my toes turned purple, and the side of my foot bruised too. I think the laptop only hit the top of my foot. Now the bruising on the side and the bottom of my toes is going away, but my last 2 toes hurt and there's bruising in between them. Where the laptop hit is still bruised and slightly swollen. The top of my foot is red and the skin is tight. I assumed my foot wasn't broken, since it has been able to bear weight just fine. But, I was wondering if I should be concerned that the foot is broken? Is it normal for the toes to turn purple, if the top of the foot gets something heavy dropped on it? Also, is it possible to get a blood clot in your foot, or does that only happen in your leg? Thank you.
