Amy's,

A common description of these husbands who want to push and fight through everything is warrior. The warrior style is what draws many women to their men. It just can get out of hand when your man become injured but wants to continue on as a warrior.

Maybe it is worth a comment such as "I love it when you are my warrior but right now, your injury appears to be countering your effort to be a warrior. Can you slow down a bit for me so your injury can heal?"

Maybe even add, " In time, maybe you will heal enough to be my full warrior again. I am willing to wait."

With the right feminine touch, I would think most warriors would melt a bit.

My best to you both.
