What was meant to be a five-minute journey turned into a trip to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department for the husband of content creator Sarah Cheng-De Winne.
In a social media post, Cheng-De Winne recounted how her husband, Mark De Winne, was flung from his kick scooter and landed several metres away on "hard concrete".
"On impact, he couldn't move his limbs or body for more than a minute," she wrote.
Cheng-De Winne said the incident took place earlier this week, when her husband was on his way home after dropping their son off at preschool.
The 24-second video shows clips from the past few days, including De Winne being taken to hospital in an ambulance and his subsequent stay there.
According to Cheng-De Winne, doctors initially ruled out a brain injury, cervical issue and fractures through scans and X-rays.
However, De Winne continued to experience severe pain in his left forearm and fingers despite suffering the worst abrasions on his right arm, which likely bore the brunt of the fall.
"He can't close his left hand, grip or carry anything," she wrote.
She added that her husband was subsequently admitted to Kent Ridge Wing at National University Hospital (NUH) for further investigations.
"Our kids at home are definitely missing Daddy — no visitors under 12 allowed," said Cheng De-Winne.
The couple have four children.
Cheng De-Winne added that she has been "overwhelmed with exhaustion" while juggling both parental roles, caring for her husband, navigating the hospital system and coping with the absence of her best friend.
Much to the family's delight, Cheng-De Winne shared that her husband would be "going home midday" on Thursday, in time for their son's 11th birthday celebrations.
AsiaOne has reached out to the couple for comment.
