I think I am going to be ill

I winterized my 2017 Jayco 265RLSW in Oct of last year. Blew out the lines with an air compressor. Bypassed and drained the water heater and left the plug out. Gilled the lines and pump with Supertech RV antifreeze full strength -50 protection. I also poured some in the toilet and Ptraps in the sinks. Read some horror stories on the W mart site about it. But also some good review's. Some say it freezes but doesnt expand. So we have had sub zero temps here in the midwest...reaching -25 ne nightand -10 to -17 a couple other nights. So I got concerned and went out and checked. Toilet frozen solid and P traps also to the consistency of a hard frozen popcicle. Has anyone had a similar experience? I just dont know what to expect....and frankly VERY concerned
Thanks to all who reply

Relax! If you blew out your lines with air first like you said, and then pushed antifreeze through the lines, you are fine. There are many YouTube vids about this. RV/Marine antifreeze does freeze. One vid shows the bottle frozen solid at 4*F. But it doesn't expand! As long as it's not diluted, your plumbing will be safe down to the fluid's rated temp.

Whew....thank You. I did blow the lines ou until no more water came out. Starting furthest away....then letting them all blow until nothing came out.
