There are really only two requirements when it comes to exercise.
One is that you do it. The other is that you continue to do it.

Ronnei,
We're all very happy for you, it's so seldom that we see such an incredible improvement in any of us. I guess it gives you a whole new appreciation of being able to breath well.

Yes Ronnei I have a line in my arm. I just use the plastic sleeve that my newspaper comes in, put a rubber band above and below and off to the shower. Have you found a different kind of cover?
