I'm on day 18 and my staples are out. When I lay on my back using a pillow, I feel pressure on the scar. Maybe it's just the numbness around it that is making me feel weird about it, but in my mind I'm thinking I'm putting too much pressure on it and that it will split open or stretch. I'm being crazy right?

When I wash it, I barely touch it. I see that there's some dried blood(maybe even some scabbing) and I don't know if I should even mess with it.

I dunno, I think I need to just chill out.

Most people start to shed the new transplants around 10-14 days post op. My scalp isn't red at all and I never got any pimples. I'm approaching my third week(18 days) and I would say 95% of the 3000 are still there and have even grown. Probably just jinxed myself, but is this common and is this even desirable?

It's not going to get better on its own, right? Take a positive step in your life. Mind you, a well researched and well educated step. Do research. Have consults if possible.

If you're out of shape, you can go to the gym. If you're uneducated in a certain aspect of your life, you can read a book. With hair loss, what can you really do? Get a good and experienced doc after your research and leave it in his hands. Attempt to take control of something in your life that is bothering you.
