I had surgery

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Please check in with that person that's crossed your mind. Get more info on how to that here: www.ruok.org.au/

[@JacobR2]

Matthew Vandeputte done. Actually been thinking of that person for awhile. However I withheld for personal issues, but if I know how scary surgery is (I do) then you definitely have the authority to tell me to get over it and reach out! Thanks.

[@silviasuarez1898]

I'm so happy your doing better, I can see the change in your attitude. Thats fucking awesome!! Keep up the good work. Sending all the good vibes. 🌱💚

[@MissDanii-]

[@steveglennan]

Glad to hear that your surgery was successful!

[@cocolee9120]

Glad surgery went well and hoping you get healed up fast. ✨✨ Best wishes from Colorado 😊

[@BraiNCollecter]

You can tell by the look on your face how relieved you are it all went well. Thanks for making these videos, they are much needed in my opinion. Hope your hand heals soon!

[@dancedancellamapants]

Congratulations!!! Love this happy news! Here's hoping it's all up from here!

[@impoze]

Glad you're ok and the surgery went well.

[@jthelostboy]

The relief on your face says it all man! Good stuff!!!

[@stlewis17]

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. I have to thank you for the Ocean Freedom dive video you posted a while back. My son and I (both with zero dive experience) had an unbelievable day in July based on that video (despite the overcast day and my leaky GoPro). Best wishes on your continued recovery.

[@serantivu6763]

Matt once your hand heals - have you considered adopting the "work 79 to 80 days, then fully take-off 10 to 11 days" method? In those 10-11 days you would ideally not do any work at all and fully stay off social media and putaway your cameras/phone/laptop and if you go for a getaway/holiday dont vlog it or take photos for instagram or live-stream. Example: Monday 1 October 2018 - Sunday 23 December 2018 (work) then Monday 24 December 2018 - Friday 4 January 2019 (time off) ; Saturay 5 January 2019 - Sunday 17 March 2019 (work) then Monday 18 March 2019 - Friday 29 March 2019 (time off)

[@jelenamiletic1833]

Such an amazing vibes in this video, keep them always like that. So glad it went well, stay safe and positive!!

[@jaredcwhite]

Oh, so so happy for you! Best possible scenario indeed!

[@EssiTee]

Glad to see you feeling better :)

[@rafacas6337]

Glad to hear you are doing better, man. And yeah, you're brave. Don't rush to be back, first things first, we'll just be here to keep learning and enjoying! Cheers from spain.

[@joshmorgan3750]

Chur 🤘 the bloopers are guna continue. Na very good man, good to hear all is well. I’ve had friends go through heavy depression. Not overly fun. Keep up the solid work

[@BartRos1980]

I am happy to hear that it went so well. My mom had a cancer scare in March, but they where able use robotic surgeon and removed all of it. Medical technology is very good and high these days, so I am sure you will recover fast and fully. All the best Matthew. Looking forward to the recovered timelapse videos. Take it easy and get well for now. - lets hope no lewd jokes about the use of your hand.

[@JacekAdamczyk]

Fantastic news, dude! We've never met, but I'm really happy for you, man!

[@GeoffReidNZ]

Kia kaha brother!

[@VinnieChu]

SO glad to hear you're doing well man! Nerve pain is no joke!

[@CameronMarkDoyle]

The moment when you paused to look at your notes was super powerful for a time to reflect on what you were saying. I thought about loved ones that may need a “are you okay?”. Glad your hand is looking good, mate. Much love

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Glad it hit the spot mate, thanks for letting me know!

[@livingabovethe12th]

That moment you didn't edit out a the pause was actually kinda powerful. I sent a msg to somebody right then that I have been worried about.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Thank you for doing that and thanks for letting me know!

[@Long_Shot_Media]

[@domim4496]

Great news :) speedy recovery!

[@TrailFeatures]

Chronic pain is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I've been in your shoes, and I'm so glad you made it out the other side!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Its good to hear the operation went well. Lets hope for a great recovery as well and no more pains in the future! Great to see a much happier face than the video before the operation!

[@samrowlands7842]

From one guy who hand an op on his right hand earlier in the year, t'other. Take it easy mate, give it time to heal and be patient. the process can be slow and can frustrating, but it's a process (like a long Photoshop filter) that will complete. In the mean-time, you certainly look better than the last video, I am glad to hear that you feel better and kudos to you for being off the pain meds. 加油

[@thegameofdigitalpodcast9970]

Your the Man Bro ! Great Lighting on this also!

I’m happy that your surgery went well and hopefully you are pain free or at the least less pain. Prognosis for the future? Just get well and again thank you for sharing. As the saying goes “life was not meant to be easy” 👍🏽

[@swargarohinitours8639]

Get well soon.

[@SR-hf9kv]

Good to see on the mend :) . Apriciate the talk & Look forward to seeing more of your videos..... Im no expert but people that have challenges can still achieve as much - and even more - than others.. For example Steve McCurry (Afghan Girl photographer) ... Cheers

[@JoyLangston]

So glad to hear you are well and thanks for sharing yours to us! I have anxiety and depression as well but I’m just glad I learned how to manage it daily and I’ve been very vocal about it to my husband and friends. Their prayers and advice helps so much but at the same time, whenever they are not around, I learned to control it. I had very terrible experiences. From being abused molested when I was 7, from witnessing a murder where we use to stay, from witnessing people killing each other, from witnessing someone being hit by a bus right in front of me. From seeing a 1 yr old baby drowning and I was helpless because I couldn’t swim at that time. I can keep going.. I have so much but I learned to look at all of these as something that made me stronger. I haven’t ask for professional help because I am slowly getting better & healing. Edited: that one year old baby was saved by my classmates! Since then i was traumatized and tried to learn how to swim but I kept drowning myself because the accident was always on my head. But I told myself one day, it’s enough.. I will keep learning how to swim!

[@alex0589]

I'm trying really hard to find a clever "focus by wire" joke but i got nothing. Anyone? Glad you're feeling better.
