I'm 1 month post FUE hair transplant. Is this normal? (Photo)

ConcernedFUE.PT
5/6/16 I received a 2,000 graft FUE hair transplant. However a month later, most of the implanted grafts have fallen out. I was told this is normal, but my expectation was a few would fall out and the photo below shows the majority have lost. 1.) Is this amount normal? 2.) Regarding the fallen follicles, is the bulb on the bottom of the strand normal to fall out as well; isn't that part important? I'm trying to remain calm and not have anxiety but it's as if I'm back to square 1. Thank you.
