I lost a civil case in a district court and the appeal time limit has already passed. I was in hospital and have medical documents to prove it. Can the deadline be restored and what must I file with the appellate court?

At the same time as the text of the appeal, it is necessery to file a petition for the restoration of the missed deadlines, attaching to it documents confirming the valid reasons that led to the violation of deadlines.
