I made a Severe Noob Mistake!, Battery, Alternator Options

[RavenAegis45]

So my battery was on its dying breathe and I went to get a new one, In my haste i accidently grabbed a battery that although looked like the one I had, but had its terminals reversed. Well stupid me plugged it in and cranked the Engine once. Well seeing my car didnt start I looked at the Battery and seen I had the terminals backwards. I exhanged it for the right one and welli figured the damage was done. I replaced several fuses that had burnt out, thinking that it maybe i was lucky enough to only have that done but well most of the fuses i replaced are ok but a few burn out the moment the terminals touch. After towing my car home I asked some friends and family what might I need to change. My dad says the whole Alternator cuz the regulator might be blown but i just wanted to get some honest opinions on what damage am I looking at?

And yes I realize I am a complete moron for rushing

A friend of mine shorted his tercel by boosting it and inverting the cables..one fuse needed to be changed and it was those big one that you need to take almost the entire fuse box appart to replace. They look like boxes with really long legs and you need a screwdriver to remove, there are transparent so you can see if they are blown or not. It might be different on the celicas but just to say, check alll the fuses.
