Hello dear mated, I understand your concern about your father. MRI spine report of your father reads disc bulge at L4-L5 with bilateral neural foraminal stenosis, which indicates that your father may be having compression of nerve articles which emerge from the neural foramina. Your father is probably having symptoms because of this. Actually, in these cases of degenerative(which is probable etiology in your fathers case too) spine disease, the consensus about surgical intervention is that surgery should not be done till the patient remains functionally independent or his symptoms don't effect his daily routine(patient being maintained on medicines or conservative treatment). I hope it helped. Please visit a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon for further help.
