It might help if I knew who "Kimmie" was...

...and I don't...normally I'd think of Kimi Raikkonen (I'm a fan of all types of auto racing), but I don't think that's who you are referencing...

It’s hard to imagine someone having pneumonia to that level and not being in the hospital. Yet he was still doing racing stuff. He must have ignored every symptom he had if that was the case. Strange.

Hello there.

Happened to me in September 2025 in the two weeks after the Notre Dame game.

Pneumonia and vomiting. Moved to a staph infection, then went septic, then multi-organ failure. Went into the ER just after midnight and was put into a medical coma to control the fever and infections. Within the first 36 hours in the ICU, my family was told I was not going to make it. Another few hours of trying to sleep it off at home would have resulted in me dying.

It happens, and I can relate. I went to work every day from Monday through Thursday that week, and I only worked from home on Friday because of the vomiting (plus diarrhea on Friday). ****, I was on the weekly Zoom call from 4 pm to 6 pm. Had my wife drive me to the ER at midnight because I didn't think calling an ambulance would be fast enough.

Spent 5 weeks in 2 hospitals.

You and your family are lucky you are alive. That really sucks. Septic and staph are almost a death sentence. Pneumonia creeps up on you fast especially when you are consumed and hyper focused on work or whatever it might be. Hope you did not get any permanent damage from those strong antibiotics.

With Kyle Busch he might have had pneumonia and not even knew it with how competitive he was. If he does not work his crew and people around him do not work. We all get sick thinking it will pass soon and keep working. Engine fumes, air particles, smoking, vaping, bacteria, viruses and fungi, or any combination can cause pneumonia.

I had pneumonia during covid in both lungs. One day I just could not breath and had to go to the hospital where they pumped to gas into my lungs. Made a difference. I still have pulmonary ground-glass opacity nodules in both lungs. Just scar tissue from past infections is what the pulmonologist said. At work to keep from coughing up blood from coughing to hard, we would just take oxycodone. It stops the cough within ten minutes. On an airplane coughing, during covid, one oxy knocks it out.

I've had pneumonia more times than I can count, and my pulmonologist usually keeps me outpatient. And I have severe asthma.
