Greetings

If you've been prescribed L-TOT (long term oxygen therapy) as well as ambulatory, then you need it. It came as a smack in the face when I was told I needed it, too - so you're not alone. You'll adapt your life to suit, believe me.

As for working, it depends on what you do... try not to get too downhearted. Oxygen is a life-saver.
