right as rain
In good order
Right as rain describes someone or something in excellent condition, especially after recovering from illness, injury, or difficulty.
The phrase emphasizes complete wellness or proper functioning, though rain itself has no obvious connection to rightness—the appeal lies in the alliteration.
After a week of rest, she was right as rain.
It's most common in British English but widely understood elsewhere.
