I had a 1500 graft FUE done yesterday and I'm kind of freaking out right now about density and a lack of bulbs. Advice? (photos)

I had a 1500 graft FUE done yesterday and I'm kind of freaking out right now. No post op pictures I've seen resemble mine, and I can literally see scalp between each scab, which I can only assume means the hairs weren't placed close together. And I have no idea how hairs placed so sparingly could amount to 1500. I'm also not seeing the familiar "bulb" appearance that I've seen in most pictures. Please please lend some insight....
