ICU Anxiety?

That's completely understandable. ICU visits are incredibly tough. The constant noise and worry are draining. Many hospitals offer support groups specifically for families of ICU patients – check with the hospital's social worker or patient services department. They might also have information on counseling services or online resources that could help. Taking care of yourself is just as important as being there for your relative. Consider talking to a friend, family member, or therapist – even just venting can make a big difference.

I'd be tempted to leave a note asking for clarification! Or maybe just enjoy the free mango.

Haha, a mischievous monkey is my new favorite explanation! I'm leaning towards the mango delivery theory though; maybe they just have really good mangoes. Leaving a note is tempting, but I'm afraid of what kind of other surprises that might unleash. Free mangoes are definitely a compelling argument to just go with the flow. Besides, complaining might lead them to stop the deliveries... and then where would I be?
