Hi Gary. I have noticed I bruise more easily now. Without recalling any particular incident. I have started taking a daily pediatric aspirin and that can cause increased bruising. So can other medications. Or a compromised blood count. Our skin gets thinner as we age too. Of course you will want to check with her doctor but it is possible she just bumped herself and was not aware of it at the time. Keep the faith.
