To want to prod my numpty DH with my crutch (lighthearted)

Broke my foot 2 weeks ago. DH has been encouraging nagging me to sit and rest as much as possible. He has been great, coming home from work early, working from home as much as possible to help out.

I was a bit pants at resting initially (stubborn), but have a new cast on, so now, if I do not rest my legs and goes swell.

So tbis week, I rest. I put my feet up. Do stuff whilst sitting. And bursts of standing. Am not sleeping brilliantly, so a couple of times I have dozed off for an hour or two.

He has just very gently asked me "Fish, do you think you might be depressed?" I was a bit perplexed until he said he had noticed I had been sleeping a lot in the day (twice Grin). I pointed out to him that, yes, this was a sign of depression for some people, but in the previous 7 years of my depression (now cured) I had never, ever slept during the day (always been a "keep frantically busy to pretend is all alright" depressed). So, no, I am not depressed DH. I am sitting down because you nagged me to. And fell asleep because I am tired. You numpty.

So would I BU to prod him with my crutch for being a numpty? only gently though cos hd is lovely too
