Bruising is not unsual.  Remember they are doing alot of manipulating beneath the skin.  I have a small amount of bruising on my stomach.  Not at the incision sites.  I also have bruising on my arms and legs where I received the heparin shots.   Take your pain meds around the clock for a couple of days to ease some of the discomfort.  I didn't sleep well the first night home, because I couldn't get comfortable.  Use lots of pillows to support you.  (I had 6 at one point) I sipped some decaffineated tea, and that helped.  Just the feeling of something warm going down.  I hope you are able to get some sleep.  I wish you a speedy recovery.
