I appreciate the various suggestions.
Still less than 4 weeks post-op, and the lack of activity is making me even crazier than previously. Add to that, my lack of endurance, and this is a frustrating time.
Could you use a stud finder to make sure you drill into the 2x8, or am I picturing the situation wrong?

Sorry to hear about the frustration. That's no good.
