So,moving on past my 4th day post -
procedure…I’m having some bruising
around the groin area, entry level of the catheter. I’m assuming this is normal, it’s just that its more extensive today than yesterday…does bruising just get worse as you continue healing.
I’m sure age is a factor…I am 78

Most bruises do spread a bit, or appear to grow, but you should see a change in colour in a few days indicating that it is dissipating. If you were 'leaking', you'd see suppuration or actual blood...there'd be no doubt for you. But the blood vessel comprises a lot of endothelial tissue which is rapid-healing.
Just don't rub the incision when you shower!! Not for about six days, or whatever your leaflet says.
