HOT WATER: Is this bad?
I had a shower with very hot water. It was not enough to cause a burn or anything, but still hot by most people's standards.
But then I realized this may impact my hair transplant results.
What do you guys think?

Using hot water on your scalp post-op is not a good idea and room temp water is what is recommended.
How many days post-op are you?

It would be wise to avoid hit water for awhile

I've had two procedures within 2.5 years and made several errors post op I wish I hadn't. One is showering letting hot water touch my new implants. The implants ARE fragile when they are first put in no matter what anybody tells you and it doesn't make sense to apply heat to an already inflamed and healing wound. Use cool to cold water on the site for 4 weeks at least. You will notice the difference immediately. Continue using cool to cold water in lieu of hot from here out and not only will you save a few grafts but you'll find your hair will also look better.
