Should I withdraw from my class?

I was planning on taking no courses in the summer but I decided to anyways (one course). I am having some health issues right now and I couldn't go to my classes due to the reason. I have to go and have a check-up and possibly undergo surgery to help with the problem. But, I am worried I might not be able to focus on my class and have a withdrawal on my transcript. Is it possible to retake the course next semester and replace the WD?

    Yes, it is possible to replace to WD

    If you are dropping the course due to medical reasons it might be worthwhile talking to an adviser and potentially withdrawing based on extenuating circumstances in which case you would get a WE.

    Neither a WD or WE affects GPA, so when you retake the course your newer mark will be the one that counts. I believe they will both show on your transcript though.

    They both stay on your transcript forever (even though they don't affect GPA) so WE would look better than WD if you can get a doctors note
