Put each group of words into the most likely order they happen, starting with the words in bold.

Answer

  1. damaged her knee quite badly → the knee joint swelled up – had to have a scan – had it operated on – underwent extensive physiotherapy
  2. broke his leg in three places → had to fast for twelve hours – was given an anaesthetic – had an operation to insert metal rods – eventually had them removed
  3. the pain became excruciating → had a filling – it somehow got infected – had to have the whole tooth out – had to have a few stitches
  4. was diagnosed with kidney disease → was put on a waiting list – finally found a donor – had a transplant – took part in a rehabilitation programme
  5. suffered severe burns → was rushed to hospital – was put on a drip – had a skin graft – had to wait for the scarring to heal
  6. found a lump → it was diagnosed as cancer – underwent chemotherapy – it went into remission – suffered a relapse – had an operation to have it removed
