Regarding weird placed bruising, the bruise manifests wherever the blood in the tissues ends up. Which is mainly a consequence of gravity.
I know from doctors of our acquaintance (being deliberately vague about identity) that you can tell people who have rested a sprained ankle by where the bruising appears - bruising on the sole/instep means the foot has been vertical (naughty patient not resting!!) while bruising on the heel/around the achilles is a sign that the good patient has kept their foot elevated.
So presumably you have spent a fair bit of time lying on your side with the good side of the knee down?? Hence bruising appears there.
