Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Florida

Medical letter to Judge

I rented a house in good faith,the day we moved in we had major sewage back up.This happened on quit a few occasions.we ended up in court over it.In the meantime I became ill.Which I am under doctors care.My doctor wrote a letter to the judge explaining he dosnt feel it I should go to FL.from N.J.during my treatment.The Judge siad it was an the letter was insuffint,due to my doctor not disclosing specifics:such as what I am being treated for which my doctor told her all the information without going into specifics,due to my privcey rights.I signed a power of attorny over to my lawyer,the judge also rejected that.Today was the court date.As soon as she walked in and saw I was not present,she ruled for the other party and allowed them to sign a judgement against me.I would like to know what kind of legal recourse I may have.I feel that because I am sick and cant travel,she is punishing me like I have control over my illness and treatment.Please if anyone can help me with this,I would be very grateful.
