Is alright the right word here?
I'd like to state that I'm suffering from jaundice and I won't be able to come until I'm alright

In this context, it would be better to write 'all right'. Usage note: The form alright , as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, but all right is preferred in more formal, edited writing.
