I don't really agree that they don't rhyme. Would make for a stupid rhyme, but the words do rhyme. Along with 'clothes'.

No, I mean close (the adjective) is pronounced with an /s/ sound, and close (the verb) is pronounced with a /z/ sound.
I thought the words were identical.

Yeah, they aren't identical as you found out. I need you close vs. close the door

So apparently my kidneys are crapping out. My eGFR is 83; the average for my age is about 120. :-/

Wow that sucks. Is it a genetic/chronic thing? Or are you acutely ill?
My mom is a dialysis patient.

Well, I do have a high blood pressure that no one has been able to explain to me, so that may be part of it. I'm on a beta blocker for it but half the time it is still pretty high.
No one in my family has had kidney problems.

Yeah kidney probs and high BP go hand in hand. How did you get high BP though? Was your renal function being monitored for as long as you've been diagnosed with hypertension? Would be interesting to know which came first sorta thing.

No one has any idea. All I get is "it's probably hereditary." My dad's BP is sometimes high, but mine has been high consistently since I was in high school. Personally I think it's a bunch of bullshit, that none of these doctors have even bothered to investigate why someone in his twenties who's not fat or diabetic would have consistently high BP.
