Could you please explain everything there is to know about "shock"? How long does it last, time frame, does the hair grow back?....Thank you

I am 11 days post-op and had the rest of my 28 staples taken out today.(yes, staples) Doing fine but have some questions and concerns. Did my research prior to my HT and had most of my questions answered by my doctor but wish I had discovered this site before my procedure. First off I had 1000 grafts done at $4500.(reenforced frontal hairline and the rest throughout the top scalp, 500 each area, none on the crown area.) How do I know if I really had 1000 done? Have a pretty good head of hair but wanted to stop or fill in thinning areas before it got too bad and noticeable. I am taking Propecia to keep the rest of my hair and was told that Propecia is great for regrowing hair on the crown area, true or false? Next concern is this SHOCK period...I was informed that my hair would be thinner after the HT but it would grow back. This is a result of where he (the doctor) was making the graft incisions and it would cut the hair that I have on my head. I do have somewhat thinner hair in the areas worked on but isn't that bad....my question is this my "shock" or is there some delayed reaction that I should expect and see more hair loss before the transplants take affect?
