No - the time you have spent outside of Canada cannot be counted towards the PR residency requirement.

But i was forced to, and i have medical reports

This is irrelevant unless and until you have to appeal the revocation of your PR status because you are not in compliance with the residency obligation requirements. This might form part of an H&C appeal. At this point in time, this is not something that you need to worry about.

We're talking about 4 extra months than your planned visit. At this point you can easily stay inCanada to meet your RO even if you have modify your future plans.
