Amputated (a true anecdote)

by Laurie Lonsdale

My marriage to my first husband ended rather abruptly after a sudden turn of events, and the legal proceedings that followed took place equally as quickly. Feeling as I did, angry and confused, I wasted no time changing my name as soon as the ink was dry on the final papers, converting it from the hyphenated version of both maiden and married names back to my simple and comfortable maiden name.

A yearly checkup with my ob-gyn took place only a few months later. Oblivious to the recent event that had taken place in my life, he looked over my chart and became alarmed when he saw a portion of my name scratched out in black marker.

"Well, well, what happened here, my dear?" he asked with concern. "It looks like your name has been amputated."

"I know," I said as I answered and smiled. "So has the husband!"
