"&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/amy-shirley\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amy Shirley&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -- one of the stars of &lt;strong&gt;TruTV&lt;/strong&gt;'s \"&lt;strong&gt;Lizard Lick Towing &amp;amp; Recovery&lt;/strong&gt;\" -- is recovering from EMERGENCY SURGERY to remove a blood clot in her leg that doctors say could have been fatal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2011/04/29/3627-trutv-star-after-the-lifesaving-surgery\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0429_lizard_lick_towing_launch_EX\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/04/29/0429-lizard-lick-towing-launch-ex.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31-year-old Shirley tells us she went to the doc after noticing a knot in the back of her right leg that was tender to&amp;#160; the touch. Once docs took a look, they determined it was clot -- and feared it could travel to her heart, lungs or brain. &amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doctors immediately slated her for emergency surgery to fix the problem.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amy says the surgery was a success -- and afterward, doctors instructed her to wear \"granny-blood-clot-hoes\" to help with her recovery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the show, Amy tells us she will \"just run the office or lay low in the backburner\" for the next few weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
