2 months after surgery is still too early to assess growth following hair transplantation. You should wait 12 months to assess true results as it takes some time for some of the embedded follicles to start growing hair which may account for the patchy growth you are noticing now.

Your grafts are quite safe but we don't want you to get sun damaged which can cause brown pigmentation and ultimately skin cancer.  Wear a hat.  No sunburns!

After 13 days post surgery, it is unlikely that you lost any viable grafts. Use Rogaine nightly and be patient.
