congrats on all the exercise progress! One note: if your rower is like most rowers I'm familiar with (the Concept2 machines), the damper on the side doesn't really change "resistance" it's more like changing how much your workout is based on muscle power vs. cardio. I had a lot of trouble with this concept at first, but there's some more information and really good resources here: http://www.concept2.com/us/default.asp I row with my damper set to 7-ish, which makes it mostly a power-based workout. You can also find the world rankings for different distances; it's always fun to test where you fall in them (I'm ranked about 35th in my categories).
I love the rowers, particularly because they're not AirDynes! :)
