We have had bruising of that size (and even a little larger), though not of that darkness or that solidness in some after surgery through the years.
Is it possible that what she had was instead worse internal bleeding than thought at surgery which then stopped?
The reason I ask is because it can take time for blood to work its way to the surface and show bruising and then it dissapates after a while. This can happen with surgery or with injury. Happens in humans, too. (For instance, in a human a hip which has dislocated then gone back in on its own can result in a bruise which reaches up to a few inches of waist and down to past the middle of the upper leg yet it is expected and doesn't matter.) So, I am wondering if it was possibly more something like that, though I honestly could not say and am only guessing.
