Picking dried blood after hair transplant - 1 week post-op.

dice00
I had a hair transplant Sunday a week ago. On Saturday I still had a lot of dried blood lying on top of the hairs and started gently helping them out with my nails. I felt no pulling, there was no discomfort or fresh blood, but some hairs came attached to the dried blood. Some things I read here worried me. Could the grafts come out six days after transplant, this easily, and only look like hairs attached to dried blood?
