angels
An angel is someone who keeps in contact with you. They go to the hospital and visit you if they are close by or they call you on the phone to check on you. They also report back to the boards here on how you are doing. You turn out to be friends for life because you end up bonding and helping each other all the way through this. Most people look for an angel that is already post op so they can help with with any question they have if their angel had been thought it. Basically, it is someone to support you all the way through your journey. I hope this helps.
