Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The attorney for the man shoved by Buffalo Police during a protest earlier this month says he's continuing to recover.

Kelly Zarcone says Martin Gugino is "having good days and bad.  Today was a good day.  He holds up his end of a complex conversation just fine and his sense of humor has not suffered one bit. He is continually delighted with the outpouring of well wishes from people around the globe.  I brought him a big stack of cards and emails which people sent to my office to cheer him on."

Zarcone notes it makes sense for Gugino to focus exclusively on healing and says he appreciates the press, but there will not be interviews for several weeks.

Zarcone adds no notice of claim has been filed, and if one is filed, it will not be this week. Gugino is still in the hospital rehab section and Zarcone sasy he will not be discharged this week.
