Good, but watch the editing mistake in 1): "getting getting". Number 6) sounds strange, and I would use "enter" instead of "put in". I think the phrasal verb doesn't match the register of the sentence. What do you think 7) should be? It sounds like she's feeling very week, and still needs to lie in bed.

1 getting getting? 2,3,4 are fine. 5 is OK, but it may not be what you meant to say. 'it' would probably refer to some object, such as a step, that she used to be able to get(climb) over. 6 is awkward. Perhaps 'use...' or 'put the ....verb in the sentence/space'. 7 is probably ok, depending on what the ellipsis refers to.
