Can you pull out grafts one month after a hair transplant?

bob1969
After 33 days of my HT, I was in the normal post operative shedding phase . Until that point, I was very gentle with massaging my recipent area during the shampoo. Finally I decided to be more aggressive with the massage. That day I noticed tons of hair on my hands. Now I am nervous that I might have been too aggressive. There was no bleeding or physical damage. I have heard that by two weeks the hair shaft is separated from the growth center any way. Is there a chance I disturbed the grafts?
