If it is absorbed in the jejunum, how does it get from there to the site of infection? (ex: an infection in a toe)

I believe it's absorbed through the stomach lining and then travels through the bloodstream.

If the infection is in the right great toe and the antibiotic is taken by mouth, it gets absorbed from ,stomach,duodenum jejunum etc. Gets into blood circulation. While being in blood it reaches the cells of rt great toe to be used there. Each second,minute and hour gradually the circulating antibiotic is used where it is needed and ultimately the entire antibiotic is used. Antibiotic is not used anywhere else because there is no infection.
Perfect scientific method is to administer a radioactive drug and trace it .
