If indeed this is a bruise and not a shadow, it does indicate he may be on really strong blood thinners due to cardiovascular or brain issues. Also, a bruise in that particular spot is usually as a result of having had an IV placed in his hand or arm recently.
True. But elderly people bruise extremely easily because the skin is like tissue and there's no padding underneath. But this isn't an accident because there's a strip of clear skin and defined lines. This looks like it's from an IV. Maybe regular meds, but could have been when he had covid and needed fluids or something. Bruises on elderly can last long time.

Why would he have needed an IV, I wonder?
Alzheimer's drugs!!!!!!!! My late father had a similar pattern on his hand...esp. when they can't orally take their meds!!!!
