1) Whatever healing she (doctor) would do was left up to the girl. This is an odd use, but when something is "left up to someone" it means that person will have the responsibility to do carry out that action. "Leave it to me" means "I'll take care of it."

2) edging toward the garage door (moving towards or glancing at) The person is standing in the room and edging toward the garage door outside. Moving toward in tiny little steps

3) I had bear of time doing it It was very difficult for me.

4) His jaw clenched This would indicate that he was experiencing some emotion and trying not to show it. Picture someone holding their mouth closed tightly - picture your mother telling you how you should have decorated your appartment and what you'd be doing with your mouth to keep from telling her to mind her own business.

5) She threw herself out of the window, tucking as she rolled. (what does tucking mean here Curling your body up in a way that protects yourself as much as possible.
