It just seems to fit. It's just a theory, but remember how after that first trip to Walter Reed his first few public appearances he did not move his right arm normally when speaking and gesticulating. He let it hang at his side or fixed it on the podium. Sorry to keep harping on this.

In the journal article below, look at figures 1 - 5, especially placement of the distal bands, then look again at the pattern of the possible bruising.
