I had several bruises in odd places when I woke up from surgery. All of them disappeared eventually, and there were no complications. I attributed it to handling on the table. Anyone under sedation like that is pretty much a sack of meat that doesn't move around very well.

You are given Heparin after surgery so you do not get a blood clot. So bruising is normal.
