Should I Be Worried About The Blackening Of My Toe Nail?

I had my left big toe crushed 5 days ago. When this happened, it caused a part of my toe along with my toenail to be ripped away as well as a small fracture. My doctor stitched the tip of my toe and part of the nail bed back on. The nail bed portion has turned black, and the tip of my toe is going from more of a bruised blue, to black. Should I be worried, or is this normal?

i dont think there is anything to be worried about as this is pretty normal and a part of healing but if if it is hurting or you are more worried visit your doctor once again
